Companion Program

The Conference Committee prides itself on creative and adventurous companion programs for those who accompany Council Leadership Day and Educational Package registrants to the conference! Our 2018 tours will be:

Wednesday, November 7th - Florida Everglades Tour
9:00 am - 1:30 pm
The Everglades are a rare and beautiful place and one of North America's unsung wild places - a captivating, rugged, subtropical landscape experienced by a relatively few adventurous souls each year. It is a resource important not only for its natural heritage and spiritually enriching powers, but for its commercial and recreational values as well. Our day begins with a short bus ride, followed by a private and covered airboat excursion. Following the boat ride, attendees will experience a Gator Boys Alligator Rescue Show, during which these experienced trappers who hand-capture alligators will share their knowledge and expertise. A boxed lunch will be provided before returning to the hotel. We'll provide the ear plugs for the boat ride, but don't forget to bring your camera for this day of adventure!This tour is rain or shine unless lightning occurs. Comfortable clothes, non-slip shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses and hats are recommended.

Thursday, November 8th - Art on Las Olas, a Walking Tour
9:30 am - 2:30 pm
Named for an early oceanfront estate, Las Olas (“the waves” in Spanish) has been the most prominent thoroughfare through Fort Lauderdale since the first days of its settlement. This noted boulevard takes us from the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale, through a quaint and walkable shopping district, past the fabled “isles” that have earned the city the nickname “Venice of America”, and all the way to beautiful Fort Lauderdale Beach. Las Olas Boulevard is teeming with history and culture and cherished as a welcome respite from the suburbs. The day will begin with short bus ride to the beginning of our walking tour, which includes three private presentations by gallery owners, staff or artists, and a bit of time to explore Las Olas and enjoy lunch at your leisure. This tour is rain or shine. Please wear comfortable clothing and walking shoes. Galleries will be selected based on the most compelling exhibit at the time of year in which we are visiting.

While we make every effort to host the tours as planned, weather or factors our of our control may create a need for a substitute program.
